The Russian government has denied speculation about another wave of mobilization for the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In the Kremlin there is “no discussion of any wave of mobilization,” said Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov today in response to media reports that students in Moscow and other cities had received conscription orders.
“Honestly, this is the first time I’ve heard about it,” Peskov replied when asked about the reports. “What conscription?” He doesn’t even know what it’s about.
Convocations are also possible online
Seven months after the start of the Russian invasion, President Vladimir Putin announced the partial mobilization of hundreds of thousands of Russians. Since then, rumors have persisted about a new wave of conscription.
They received new nourishment through the passing of a law in an expedited procedure, according to which convocations can also be made online in the future and personal delivery is no longer necessary. Putin signed the law into law last week.
